Gok’s Clothes Roadshow will spark a number of styles done for cheap this season (Channel4)

Pick Of The Day: Gok’s Clothes Roadshow: Get The Looks For Less, Channel4, 8pm

Hot on the heels of London Fashion Week, Gok Wan is on a mission to show how we mere mortals can pull off the latest crazily expensive high fashion when weâve only got recession-sized pockets.

True Stories: Up In Smoke More4, 10pm

While True Stories takes a global view of the catastrophic cost of messing with Earthâs vegetation, this documentary offers a domestic perspective on the emotive subject of leylandii cypress hedging. Despite being the key culprit behind the High Hedges Asbo legislation of 2005, the fast-growing tree continues to wreak havoc across the nation. Left unchecked, it can reach dizzying heights and provoke bitter battles: some love it for the privacy it affords while others loathe it for casting a gloomy shadow over their lives. — CC

Film Of The Day American Gangster, ITV4, 10pm

Given the talent involved, this true-life gangster story from director Ridley Scott was considered something of a disappointment on its 2007 release. Scottâs typically stylish direction is perhaps a touch too controlled and the story a bit convoluted but with Denzel Washington as the heroin kingpin and Russell Crowe as the honest cop out to nail him, this is still high-quality entertainment. — CK
